Google Trends released its annual Year in Search results, including what video games were chart-toppers in 2021.
It’s been quite a momentous year for the video game industry, despite the many delays and hardware shortages. Like a certain plumber ruthlessly squashing anthropomorphic turtles beneath his boot in a never-ending cycle of cartoon violence to rescue a princess, video games trudged ever onward. However, you’d likely never guess what games topped out algorithms during this go-around the sun.
The top trending games of 2021 are:
- PopCat
- FIFA 22
- Battlefield 2042
- Monster Hunter Rise
- Resident Evil Village
- Call of Duty: Vanguard
- Far Cry 6
- Madden NFL 22
- Metroid Dread
Before you ask— yes— these are some of our favorites. https://t.co/GygJqZsVV2 pic.twitter.com/5OeC6HfuwR
